Most Hours via The Tab

Shocking results. 

It is way more than 40

At our school the 40 hours is minimum in the syllabus for a C-

Some Ideas

Test one with LED lights lighting my acrylic model, Adjustment need to be made,  for one the light strip is too short and I need to sand the edges of the surrounding buildings. 

I put all my images together in about four hours and this is the least happy I have been with my boards. I spent a majority of time working on the group model because half the people would not contribute at all.  I had no time to work on my Pavilion and was sleep deprived to the point of delirium. This all took place in the span of two weeks: the project was given and we were working non-stop the last week. I was pretty upset, and I just want to forget this part of the project forever.  

Printing the Pavilion

Metaphysical Data Heights

Abstract painting of my initial thought on what the site is saying and how I am interpreting the data.

Testing out some renderings of Pavilion and editing quick as I go, this is so far my third attempt.  

Model is also somewhat incomplete

“Named” Pavilion

Screen captures from Rhino of the progress that I have made on this pavilion that we have only had a week to design and so far the outcome is unfolding with every step I take. Considering that 90% of the structure was created in Grasshopper, creating my scripts from scratch. This is all from watching a plenty of tutorial videos and reading forums tackling the issues to bring this structure to its form.  Over all this project has been, so far, a turning point in my academic career, knowing that I am only getting stronger and more skillful as the days seem to fly by as quick as these planes flying above me as I make my morning journey to studio each morning.  I can’t stress enough on how fast this school year has going but from what I have taken out of this third year in my five year journey to becoming an architect….almost  

Just a few more years after that and more sleepless nights, I hope to become the professional that people will look up to as I looked up to the ones before me.

Modeling with grasshopper, the grasshopper model and the baked model to rhino in the background. 

This was an accomplishment, now that the shape is all defined I can edit it to the perimeters I have mapped out without having to adjust the internals of the model.  I’m going all Parametric and what not.

Finishing up the base model so I can then start modeling my structure in context.  

Tomorrow I need to CNC the site model in foam at 1:100 and 1’:1/8” and to actually mock up a design for my professor.

Five Minute study models

This quarter I am going to focus on tension structure systems and how the intervention of this type of structure can affect the surrounding area by my implementation.

Do you know of any good readings to recommend me with these types of systems?
